The Piennolo del Vesuvio tomato is a tomato variety from southern Italy/Naples where it is grown on the slopes of the Vesuvius volcano. Due to the climate there with its unstable temperatures, this variety has developed very resistant fruits. A special feature is the storage, which is also reflected in the name. Farmers tie the bunches together on a rope or ring (piennolo) and store the fruits hanging over the winter. The dried tomatoes last for months and become even more aromatic.

Because of their characteristic tip, they are also known as Venus breasts. The fruits weigh about 25 g and have a slightly thicker skin and low water content. Piennolo del Vesuvio has a high tolerance to powdery mildew.
